Petts Wood railway station serves Petts Wood in the London Borough of Bromley, and is in Travelcard Zone 5. The station was built on the main line to the north of Orpington and opened on 9 July 1928, and the community now surrounding it developed from that date: now the railway divides Petts Wood East and Petts Wood West.

The station is located beneath Gants Hill roundabout, and accessed via the pedestrian subway under the roundabout. It is thus almost invisible from ground level; the only visible traces are the London Transport signs at some of the entrances to the subway and (for the sharp-eyed) the ticket office windows on the roundabout.

Valentines Park is, at 125 acres (51 ha), the largest green space in the London Borough of Redbridge, between Ilford and Gants Hill. It was acquired in various purchases and gifts of land, starting in 1898 and culminating in the 1920s. The Valentines Estate had been in private hands since long before the 1690s, when the present Valentines Mansion was built. The park is home to a secondary school called Valentines High School.
